# AutoGPT

> Open-source agent platform with a hosted team of AI Experts

AutoGPT began in 2023 as an open-source autonomous agent project and is now a platform built around Experts: AI specialists that each have a role, instructions, skills and workflows, coordinated by a generalist agent called Otto. Work starts as a chat brief and can be turned into scheduled routines, with a visual workflow builder for defining the steps yourself. The hosted cloud is a paid subscription with a 7-day trial, and the platform can also be self-hosted with your own infrastructure and model keys.

## Key features

- **Experts and Otto:** 32 ready-made Experts cover roles such as SEO content, sales, bookkeeping and market research. Otto, a generalist agent, hands a brief to the right Expert, or you can talk to one directly.
- **Routines and scheduled workflows:** Recurring work can run on a cron schedule or start from a webhook trigger, with results left for you to review and schedules you can adjust or pause.
- **Visual workflow builder:** A drag-and-drop graph builder composes workflows from blocks, and Otto can generate a workflow from a plain-English description.
- **Integration blocks and models:** More than 200 integration blocks cover tools such as Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion and HubSpot, alongside models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI and others.
- **Access and spending controls:** You choose which connected accounts each Expert can use, set a spending approval threshold per Expert, and can place human approval gates inside a workflow.
- **Self-hosting and API:** The platform can be self-hosted with Docker using your own model keys, and a public REST API gives programmatic access to workflows and tasks.
